Most likely, if you're following the manual and it does not drop, the secondary catch on the spare tire hoist is rusted and seized. This is a VERY common problem with all GM trucks and very dangerous when you're stuck on the side of an expressway trying to change a flat tire and you entire family is watching semi trucks whiz by your head as you lay under your truck trying to free-up the spare. You will not succeed and it will cost much time and money to tow you vehicle from the scene. GM is very irresponsible in not recalling this problems and I find it hard to believe there is not a lawsuit out there. Good luck. I've tried every suggestion and had no luck in dropping the spare so my family continues to drive in a vehicle with no available spare.

Will a regular tire fit in the spare tire compartment of a Ford Windstar?
Yes - the space underneath accommodates the silly little 'doughnut' and a full size wheel. Good practice to: # Check the spare tire pressure every 6 months # Lower the spare down to ensure it hasn't stuck itself to the bottom of the van - don't want to find that out on the side of the expressway

How do you remove a cam that's stuck on a 350 Chevy engine?
Depending on what's actually stuck, you may have to pull the rear freeze plug and drive the cam out. Must have the lifters completely out of the way and the timing chain removed. If the cam is stuck to a cam bearing, driving out the cam will ruin the cam bearings, and you may have to cut them off from underneath.
